Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Backlog at none against Delete Swipe's shown. Delete Swipe's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (40 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Backlog sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Delete Swipe sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Backlog against 5.0 for Delete Swipe. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Delete Swipe has 40 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Backlog ships an update every 2 months, Delete Swipe every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
